Where did you get it? How much was it? Is it like a dealer microfishe? How about a part number for a piston and a con rod for the 2.3TD. (I'm trying to find parts sources overseas) Thanks!<BR></B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR>I got it and the shop manual through Faxon Auto Literature. They are both used and in good shape, and I paid a crap load for them. I was told they are out of print. Reach Faxon at 800-458-2734 in Riverside, CA. The manuals are soft-back books. Even the dealer doesn't have microfiche or CDROM for this year.<P>Let me look for the connecting rod part number. Be aware that it's going to be the original part number as the books are from 1986 . . .<P>From p-33 of the camshaft section of the parts manual, the push rod is listed as part number 5-12575-015-0. The tappet is listed as 9-12571-801-0. <P>EricM<P><P>------------------<BR>'60 FJ25<BR>'85 Toy 4x4<BR>'86 TD Trooper II<BR>'93 FZJ80
